dPCR Colorectal Cancer Mutation Screening Kit
Colorectal cancer is a cancer that starts in the colon or the rectum. The American Cancer Society estimate that about 4.8% men and 4.3% women in the United States will develop colorectal cancer during their lifetime. It is one of the most leading causes of cancer death worldwide.
Certain types of genetic mutations can be the biomarkers that allow more specific treatments and certain mutations influence response to targeted therapy. Therefore, testing for these mutations and tailoring therapy accordingly are widely accepted as standard practice.
Cancer is a genetic disease with uncontrolled growth of abnormal cells. Some types of cancer are frequently associated with specific genetic mutations. Those mutations provide the biomarkers that allow more specific cancer treatments, known as targeted therapy.
Targeted therapy is a newer type of cancer treatment that offers patients the opportunity to use a drug that has a greater effect on cancerous tissue, reducing many of the side effects associated with standard therapy. Therefore, it is a critical step towards targeted therapy by identifying the cancer mutations with a precise and sensitive method.
